OVERRATED: ‘Destroyer’ WORST: ’50 Shades Freed’

Overrated: DESTROYER From the make me ugly school of acting, Nicole Kidman’s ‘Destroyer’ is nothing less than a seemingly interminable slog through the muck. Kidman stumbles around in an awful wig, with a look of extreme constipation as a “grizzled” police detective irrevocably scarred by her experiences deep undercover. An award should go to audience members who can make it through to the end of this deeply ugly and un-redeeming experience.

Worst: 50 SHADES FREED This kinky sex trilogy ended with an anticlimactic whimper. Jamie Dornan – still hoping his abs will make up for his acting – and a clearly bored Dakota Johnson have all the chemistry of a subway sandwich. Now married, the sex scenes of the two stars failed to climax. So the series concluded by throwing in a kidnapping and some indifferent corporate espionage in attempt to spice up the limp proceedings. But everyone, including the stars, seems relieved to be freed from this franchise.
